As a muggleborn, he had thought he’d get singled out far more often but except for feeling terrible in classes thanks to the anti-muggle regime, he hadn’t had any real trouble. Some of us…. That hit him, hard. Minjae frowned again. ”I’m aware not everyone here might be against them but…” but what? That the ones who chose the Alliance were not thinking straight? That was just wishful thinking. He understood not everyone saw what he saw in muggles.

This time, his ears turned a bright red color when the Ravenclaw said he sounded like a therapist. It reminded him of Aboli .She was the first person to have listened to his problems at home. It also made him remember their date and well….he was glad Ashley spoke further. It was one thing to talk about wanting to escape and see your family. It was a whole other thing when Ashley suddenly started talking about revolts. He wasn’t sure where she would be going with this but the moment he heard that word, alarm bells went off in his head. Was this how Schmoe had felt when he had went off on an angry rant in his office? He grabbed his wand and waved it around, casting a quick "Muffliato" over them both just in case. Better safe than sorry.

He hadn’t kicked back the ball yet because he was too busy listening to her words. He too had been looking for a way out of the castle. But everything he thought of , the Alliance had thought about as well and he hated it. And if they did find a way to escape, it was going to be a bloody and deadly mess. ”I don’t want others to die for me either…” he said softly after a while."Even the thought of having to go against them scares me so much. They have far more magical experience than us. Not even going to mention that they use Dark magic and like you said, they will fight till death" it sucked, all of it and he wanted to be home right now " I-i don't want to die and i know i can't kill someone either...But i also don't want them to rule our lives." Ugh . Come to Hogwarts they had said. It would be fun! He kicked the ball hard against the wall , the angle of it made it roll back to Ashley. "What is so bad about muggles and us muggleborns anyway? I honestly can't see their point of view. You know what, i'm proud to be muggleborn" There. He had said it.
Good thing for the silency spell. "They don't care about any of us. And some kids here know it, and still try to harness the power of the cult to hurt other kids. Even though it could backfire right back on them. Like torture. How could you, being a kid here, in this position, try to get some other kid tortured or killed? I don't...." Cue voice crack. "...I don't get it." She did a trick shot back at him. Why? Because it looked cool. "It kinda seems like it's not worth fighting back, because if I'm going to die regardless, trying to stop it is just killing you. Dying for a cause only matters if you win later. If you die and then lose, it means nothing." If she was in a situation where she was about to be killed, and someone else was standing next to her and didn't fight it, she would get it. They would be right. Cut your losses and live to fight another day. "They'll never rule our lives. Either we win or we die. That's all there is to it. We won't ever have to live with our failures. Because failure is death. Winning might also mean death. We're all going to die one day, anyhow." She laughed, unexpectedly, partly because she sounded funny and partly because she was trying to suppress her instinct to kick a wall. Her foot twitched slightly, and her eyes drifted to the wall.... no. Do not kick the wall. "That's all going into the quote book. I sound like a philosopher." Okay, but she REALLY wanted to kick the wall. Distraction distraction distraction. uhhhh. "There's nothing wrong with being a muggleborn. They're just generalising. Muggles and wizards aren't good or bad. They're just people, who can be either." Since when was she like, one of those people who gave big speeches at political events and stuff? "Anyway, if I die, my best friend will never know how, and maybe that's a good thing for him. Maybe they'll wash his memories." It would be sad though, because they had promised to stay together forever, like besties did. Well, if she failed, maybe they'd all die.
